Viewing Council meetings
Public Question Time
The City welcomes community participation in its decision making processes through public question time.
Our Council knows that when someone takes the time to ask a question at a Council meeting, it is very important to them. We value that feedback.
With over 245,000 residents at the City, there is a high demand for public question time.
You can honour the rights of your fellow community members to have time to ask their questions in the following ways:
- Seeking information from City officers before the meeting. We can be more generous with our time outside the busy Council Chambers
- Contacting your ward Councillor before the meeting. Ward Councillors can also be more generous with their time outside the Council Chambers
- Not including any preambles or statements. We will generally know what your question is about. If we don’t we will ask you for more information
- Not asking your question if a similar question has already been asked. Asking the same question multiple times does not increase its impact, it may have the opposite effect
- Asking your question online using the online form below, and not at the meeting. Every question asked online is answered in writing and recorded in the minutes
- Asking a short, direct question. Lengthy questions are hard to follow and lose their impact
- Taking any offer to meet with you to discuss your concerns. Meeting on site with an officer or a Councillor is a better way of understanding concerns.
If you have any questions about public question time, please contact us on (08) 9205 8555 or governance@stirling.wa.gov.au
